Jerry Seinfeld: The World’s Richest Comedian

How a smash hit sitcom made a New York stand-up the richest comedian in history. Simon Jack and Zing Tsjeng learn how streaming and syndication made Jerry Seinfeld a billionaire.

Jerry Seinfeld has a life-long obsession with jokes, but his smash hit sitcom turned the New York stand-up into the richest comedian of all time. Seinfeld was the most watched programme in America when it ended in in 1998, but it’s what came next that made the real Jerry Seinfeld mega rich – streaming and syndication. Simon Jack and Zing Tsjeng find out how transcendental meditation, a top Hollywood agent, the unexpected death of a parent and an “inability to act” all helped drive his spectacular success, before deciding if they think he’s good, bad, or just another billionaire.
